The Senate Republican Conference has remained awfully quiet as President Donald Trump has engaged in a days-long broadside against John McCain. But Johnny Isakson is making some noise.
He went on to raise concerns about the message that Trump is sending by targeting the Vietnam veteran who was imprisoned and tortured overseas. Trump has also mocked McCain's military service and said he "likes people who weren't captured" at war, a reference to McCain’s five-plus years as a POW.Sign Up
“When the president is saying that that he doesn’t respect John McCain and he’s never going to respect John McCain and all these kids are out there listening to the president of the United States talk that way about the most decorated senator in history who is dead,” Isakson said. “It just sets the worst tone possible.”
